Here I was, fifty years old and in college. Quite a life change. I never intended to end up here, but life has a way of bouncing you around like a pinball when it takes the urge. I had a good job in middle management with a company that had employed me nearly thirty years ago. The economy tanked and dragged us down with it. In eighteen months we had downsi...
Chloe was tired: tired and lonely. She had been ten weeks away from home, and driven over ten thousand solo miles, every inch of it on the wrong side of the road. It was just when you thought you were used to it, to driving on the right for god's sake, that your guard dropped and you made some idiotic mistake that could kill you. She hadn't let her guard dow...
This is the fifteenth episode of my unreliable memoirs. Each episode can be read individually but it helps a bit with names to have read the previous episodes. I hope you have enjoyed it so far. M4bloke ****************** The Thursday afternoon Lufthansa flight from Birmingham to Munich took off as scheduled. I'd only been back at university a fortnight...
My wife and I had been married for about ten years. Having been together for five before that, dating. After fifteen years our love life had gotten a bit stale. Then I went to work for the company I am at now. My new job required me to travel out of town quite often, usually for two to four nights, being gone for a week at most. Once in a while, when we co...
The war referenced in this story is fabricated in order to make the ages and time-lines work. At thirty she had it all, didn't she? Five years earlier her appearance on a television reality show had quickly brought her worldwide attention and fame. As cheesy as the experience had been, it had opened many doors for her. It hadn't hurt that she was beautiful...

It is probably best to read the entire tale, but it is not necessary. For those of you who are following the series, Beercan is not in this chapter, but he will be in all of the following ones. ***** A Week in Femdom Villa...
I called "E" at home. The instant she answered I heard the stress and upset in her voice. "Emily called you." I said, "Do not come apart. We are a family and as a family we can and will work this through." "But she says she won't come to Christmas as long as you are taking advantage of me. She can and will come between Brad and all of us." "You give her t...
It was the snuffling in my ear that stirred me. Several light sniffs, followed by one loud snort, and then the offending cold nose made its way to my neck and started the whole process over again. I made my displeasure known with a moody groan. "Pratt, no," I murmured. The nose retreated, followed by a high whine. "Too early," I reasoned. Another pit...

As I lay on the bed with the soft early light of the summer sun creeping through the blinds casting a golden glow over the smooth skin of the beautiful woman lying gently sleeping next to me I watched flecks of dust sparkle and dance in the air and listened to her gentle breathing. My mind began to wander and I recalled the events and coincidences of the la...
